Interview with Rhastam:
You tell Rhastam 'Mind if I ask you a few questions?'
Rhastam tells you 'Shore.'
You tell Rhastam 'Right then. In your opinion, was the recent
disbandment of Legion on the whole, due to failures by just a select
few, or was every member equally incompetent?'
Rhastam tells you 'I would say a select few.'
You tell Rhastam 'Right then. So if that was the case, why do you think
Resatimm disbanded the whole group, instead of just those select few?'
Rhastam tells you 'You will have to ask Resatimm, but history shows
that that is his method of operation. When a few at the top continually
screw up, it is time to cut losses and clear house.'
You tell Rhastam 'Ah, so he find incompetence is like a contagion, and
tries to contain it by cutting off the whole arm? That makes sense, avians
are always paranoid about diseases, even after becoming higher powers.'
Rhastam tells you 'Last time I looked, Lord Resatimm was not Avian.'
You tell Rhastam 'Oh? Sources told me that he was such before rising to
the heavens. I'll have to re-verify those.'
Rhastam tells you 'He was, but when one changes to the undead, all
traits of their former race are gone.'
You tell Rhastam 'Intriguing, very intriguing. So, back to the topic of
contagions, before the current batch of Legion was disbanded, do you
remember drinking from the fountain in the cabal? There may have been a
sickly green glow emanating from it...'
Rhastam tells you 'I drank from it regularly. It was not a fountain,
it was a mage cast magical spring. Our undead cleric made one for us every
time it dried up.'
You tell Rhastam 'Of course, of course, but do you remember any
specific instances where the water had a green tinge to it? Perhaps you drank
from it, and felt horribly sick afterwards?'
Rhastam tells you 'Never.'
You tell Rhastam 'I see, well, that'll be the last time I buy my
ingredients from a shady duergar with only one hand. So, now that you've been
removed from Legion, what are your plans? Ever considered serving under a gnome
in his conquest for world domination?'
Rhastam tells you 'Serving under a gnome? Do I get to use him as
catapult ammunition?'
You tell Rhastam 'You own a catapult? Have you ever considered donating
it to a great cause? Because we're in high demand for siege weapons, the
Knights castle being so fortified as it is...'
Rhastam tells you 'Bah, I can take the Knight Fortress with an army of
three zombies.'
You tell Rhastam 'But that's not thinking like a General! A catapult
could do much more damage from a safe range. A truly successful campaign
takes little toll on ones resources, such as animated corpses.'
Rhastam tells you 'I like 'hands on''
Rhastam tells you 'Now, allow me to ask you a question?'
You tell Rhastam 'One can always ask of me a question! But if it's too
vital of information, the answer may not be forthcoming.....'
Rhastam tells you 'I have heard rumours of Knights galore having this
reputation or that with the populace of Thera. Considering that the
Heralds are the ones who mark the Knights thusly, what does a non-Knight have
to'
Rhastam tells you 'do to gain a reputation? Kill Heralds?'
You tell Rhastam 'Well, one would think that might gain you the
reputation of "feared", but from what I can gather, you'd most likely not get any
reputation of any sort, out of spite from those who you killed.'
You tell Rhastam 'Mind you, serving a gnome faithfully might get you
places in the regard of reputation.'
Rhastam tells you 'Ha.'
You tell Rhastam 'Think about it! It's a good offer!'
Rhastam tells you 'It is not as if I care, I was just curious, seeing
as though the rumours claim almost every Knight had one or two
reputations.'
You tell Rhastam 'It's quite possible. We reward those who help us.'
Rhastam tells you 'So, basically you bribe them with your Herald
Skill?'
You tell Rhastam 'Well, I'd personally reward them with cookies and
milk, seeing as it's more cost effective and less of a investment.'
Rhastam tells you 'Ha.'
